  • the operation secret code of the socket may be acquired from a database stored in the power mediation connector 1400 or the electric vehicle 1600 .
  • the power mediation connector 1400 may acquire an operation secret code of the socket from an authentication server 1500 located on the outside through the wireless communication unit 1420 in a process of acquiring the operation secret code of the socket. If the operation secret code of the socket is acquired from the outside in this way, a danger of release of a database of all operation secret codes of the sockets that may occur when the authentication server 1500 is not separately managed may be reduced.
  • the power measurement unit 1430 measures an amount of power supplied from the user authentication socket 1100 via the power supply terminal 1320 of the plug 1300 .
  • the measured power is supplied to the electric vehicle 1600 connected to the power mediation connector 1400 by the connector 1550 .
  • the measured power is sent to the control unit 1460 .
  • an electric fee that will be imposed on the owner of an electric vehicle and/or an electric fee that will be notified of to a power supplier may be calculated and payment of an incentive may be determined.

  • the battery 1440 may be charged by converting the power previously measured through the power measurement unit 1430 into DC power through the AC/DC converter 1450 or the converted DC power may be provided to the user authentication socket 1100 as authentication power via the control unit 1460 .
  • FIG. 10 a power demand unit according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.
  • FIG. 10 illustrates that an electric vehicle uses the user authentication socket or connector according to the first embodiment of the present invention, it is apparent that the user authentication socket or connector according to the second embodiment of the present invention may be used.
  • the electric vehicle 1602 illustrated in FIG. 10 itself includes the wired communication unit 1410 , the wireless communication unit 1420 , the power measurement unit 1430 , and the control unit 1460 included in the power mediation connector described with reference to FIG. 9 . Because the operational principles are substantially the same or similar to those described with reference to FIG. 9 , a detailed description thereof will be omitted for convenience of description and a difference from FIG. 9 will be mainly described.
  • a battery (for example, a 12 V battery) 1442 for electric parts in the electric vehicle may provide authentication power (DC power) to the authentication socket 1100 via the control unit 1460 .
  • the battery (for example, a 12 V battery) 1442 for electric parts is a battery used to operate electric parts in the electric vehicle.
  • the power measured via measurement of power may be converted into DC power in a charger 1452 of the electric vehicle 1602 and may be stored in a traction battery 1454 .
  • the traction battery 1454 is a driving battery of the electric vehicle 1602 .
  • the user authentication socket or connector, the power mediation connector, and the power demand unit (for example, an electric vehicle) using the same of the present invention, which have been described above, because the user is identified and authenticated using a power source on the outside of the socket (for example, the battery 1440 of the power mediation connector 1400 in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 9 and the battery 1442 for electric parts in the embodiment illustrated in FIG. 10 ) and the socket supplies power from the main power source, standby power is not consumed at all in the main power source side while connection to the power demand unit (for example, an electric vehicle) is stood by. That is, power may be supplied only to a user to which use has been allowed in advance while power for authentication of a user is not wasted in a normal situation. Furthermore, an additional mechanical locking unit for preventing illegal use of a socket or connector is not necessary.
  • the security of the socket may be further reinforced when the socket authentication unit generates sequentially changed key values.
  • a feeding unit for charging an electric vehicle occupies a large volume, and requires a communication unit, a user authentication unit, and a DC power supply unit for managing them in the interior of the feeding unit.
  • a power supply unit for managing a communication unit and a user authentication unit is arranged outside the socket, for example, in the form of the wired communication unit 1410 , the wireless communication unit 1420 , and the battery 1440 of the power mediation connector 1400 in the embodiment illustrated in FIG.
  • the security may be maintained while the structure of the fixed apparatus, that is, the user authentication socket or connector is minimized.
  • the user authentication socket or connector, the power mediation connector, and the power demand unit for example, an electric vehicle
  • the power demand unit for example, an electric vehicle
  • the user authentication socket or connector of the present invention installation costs are inexpensive and consumption of standby power is not influenced at all even though the sockets or connectors are installed in all the parking surfaces. Accordingly, because parking lots for electric vehicles and parking lots for general vehicles do not need to be divided, all vehicle users can conveniently park their vehicles, and electric vehicle users can charge electric vehicles irrespective of places, that is, without finding electric vehicle dedicated parking surfaces.
